Our tiny little town does love to dress up! We had our annual Christmas parade last Sunday night. What a load of fun!!! Folks dressed up their tractors and lawnmowers and just had a big time.
Jan (aka "Rose") brought over Betty the buggy mare and drove in the parade with my MIL. I dressed up my mare and let a friend ride her so I could get pictures. Hubby lit up his 1975 MF-165 and pulled a small "float" with some friends riding on it. Our son, Logan, brought out his 1948 Farmall which he has restored.

yup, Tequila is a good sized spotted saddle mare....Betty is about 14 hands....sure like having a sturdy horse for an outrider and Teq surely fits the bill.

Had some people come through here a few days ago hauling a horse from Oklahoma to Northern California. Burned the transmission in their truck and needed somewhere to unload the pony for a couple of days. I loaned them a corral and was amazed when they unloaded their horse. He was an Irish Warmblood paint. Not a whole lot of white, but beautiful blue eyes, 16- 1/2 hands and just barely two years old. He was magnificent!! He was put together so well that you didn't realize how big he was until you got up close. I am just over five feet tall, so you can imagine how huge he looked to me! But he didn't move like a big horse. He was as gracefully athletic an animal as I have ever seen. I would need an elevator to get in the saddle!
